The IT world caters to the requirements of the Service Lines and Delivery Centers:
History of Lean:
Started in 2006 in Hyderabad based on Toyota Production Systems and Lean is to identifying and elimination wastes... They are for value and quality and enrich customer values.
Balance Lean:
1. Eliminate Waste based on lean
2. Eliminate bottleneck scenarios - inflexibility
3. Invariability -focuses on Six Sigma and 3 variances
Production Systems - NO MORE- NO LESS
- Inflexibility and Invariability
 - Set of Best Practices and based on lean principles
 - Enable global delivery consistent excellence
 - For quality, standard processes
 - Efficiency and defect prevention
 
Three types of Productivity losses
1.   Eliminate waste based on lean-  Waste based on quality
2.   Eliminate bottleneck scenarios -  Inflexibility
3.  Invariability focuses on six sigma + or - 3 variances
3 Ps to focus on
1.  People - mindset, behavior and capability (MBC)
2.  Process - Operating System
3. Performance - Management System - Metrics, measurements, visual boards
8 Types of Waste -  IITWROOM
1.  Intellect
2.  Inventory
3.  Transportation
4.   Waiting
5.   Rework
6.  Over-process
7.  Over-production
8.  Motion
7 Levers to eliminate waste:
SSPRRRF
- Segmenting complexity
 - Standard Operation
 - Pooling
 - Redistribute activities
 - Reduce non-variables
 - Reduce incoming work
 - Flexible Staffing system
 
Operating Systems focus on the Lean components
- Delivery catalog
 - Advance pooling
 - Maximum utilization
 - Minimum idle time
 - Cross accounting
 - Skill management
 - Standardization
 - Quality and Productivity
 - Staffing Flexibility
 - Three components of a pool
 - Min pool size
 - Single service component
 - Co-location of pool members
 - Advance Pooling Requirements
 - Shared resources
 - Skillsets
 - Segmentation and dispatch process
 - Pool size - Project pool structure
 - Co-location of resources
 - Language
 - User id compliance
 - Dispatching requirements
 - Segmenting
 - Batching
 - Distribution / Swing
 - Pick, Push, Pull
 - Pool Structure
 - Dispatching - incidents, problems, changes
 - Simple requests maintenance
 - Dispatching workflow
 - Receive incoming demand
 - Segment by complexity
 - Batch work to manage lows - by rules
 - Assign to available technician
 - Trigger swing or hands-off
